SMA overview

Pursuing alpha via CPA-based approaches

The Mid Value SMA aims to deliver long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in mid-cap companies by using a disciplined, consistent valuation process that evaluates each stock’s upside reward relative to its downside risk.

Accounting expertise and processes guide decision-making.

Key differentiators

  • Employs rigorous qualitative research and a risk-aware portfolio construction process to allow security selection to determine the portfolio's outcome
  • Seeks to own companies that possess the following three criteria: a durable asset base, flexible balance sheet, and strong and sustainable free cash flow
  • Invests when target company’s price has relatively meaningful upside potential versus downside risk

Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. For more information, please refer to the GIPS composite report found in the documents section.

Please keep in mind that high double-digit returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions. You should not expect that such favorable returns can be consistently achieved. A fund's performance, especially for short time periods, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decision.

Investment decisions, techniques, and analyses implemented by the manager may not lead to expected returns of the team. Securities held by the strategy could decline due to general market conditions or other factors, including those with the issuer of the stock. Style factor exposure including but not limited to, beta, growth, value, liquidity, etc. can perform differently and shift in and out of favor through a market cycle.

Allspring Managed Account Services (the firm) is a unit within Allspring Global Investments and is responsible for the management and administration of the Allspring Funds Management, LLC, retail separately managed account portfolios (wrap portfolios). Allspring Funds Management acts as a discretionary manager for separately managed accounts ("SMA") and as a non-discretionary model provider in a variety of managed account or wrap fee programs (“MA Programs”) sponsored by third party investment advisers, broker-dealers, or other financial services firms (a “Sponsor”). When acting as non-discretionary model provider, Allspring Funds Management responsibility is limited to providing non-discretionary investment recommendations (in the form of model portfolios) to the Sponsor. The Sponsor may use these recommendations in connection with its management of MA Program accounts. In these “model-based” programs, the Sponsor serves as the investment manager and maintains trade implementation responsibility.
